what's the scale on that thing? Looks like it could be smaller than a foot long or so.

I think that in the next 20-30 years we could see a big shift to remote controlled robots in fighting certain types of wars such as the one we are currently involved in. Like remote airplanes are proving their worth today imagine when our troops can patrol a street, guard a corner, or raid a terrorist den using highly articulated and well armed remotely controlled robots? It takes the "terror" out of the terrorist's play-book when he can't kill our troops for the benefit of our traitorous media.

Hmmmmm. A really cheap crawler mounting a claymore mine would be even more effective.
